Did anybody understand in detail the frame shift part and how it was applied to the passages in question?
I was a biochemist and am familiar with the concept yet in the explanations above there was no clear example that I could see of that part of the process. That absence seems to be a major fault of the presentation which has been largely overlooked.
Rather, critics have focussed on the fragmentary non grammatical Latin results, which seems reasonable criticism.
But I think it's a shame that a potentially useful approach could be discredited by one faulty attempt.
The other interesting part was the concept of o as punctuation. Is that new because I do not recall seeing that in my reading so far.
The other thing I was wanting to say is, I think it unfortunate that "theory" is almost a dirty word on this site. I mean, I understand why, but still....in any scientific study of a complex system it is absolutely essential to have a model which can explain results and make testable predictions.
The frame shift approach could be one such model that bears further investigation.
P.S. How come I'm a Scriba now? Did I gain karma somewhere? Or is that a side effect of the site upgrade? I really think I'm a Disciplus in fact.
